🌍 Today, we're raising awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on Goal 12 – Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Many industries face the challenge of producing more with less, particularly in developing economies, while preserving the world's natural resources for future generations. Innovation, both in processes and technology, is the key to meeting this challenge—and companies like us are at the forefront of these efforts. Take #lacticacid, a vital raw material for biodegradable plastics, such as those found in everyday items like bags, cutlery, and packaging. We have partnered with OMZ for over 10 years, supporting them in developing technologies that convert corn starch into bioplastics using ion exchange technology. In 2020, OMZ expanded its innovative #ionexchange systems to help reduce water usage and halve sewage discharge. Our Diaphragm Valves DIASTAR provide excellent flow characteristics. OMZ was able to use the smaller DN50 valves to downsize equipment, reduce raw material needs, and optimize production. The result? Over 5,000 GF valves deployed, elevating OMZ's customers’ systems to a more sustainable, efficient level while ensuring leak-free performance. This is just one example of how GF is contributing to a smarter, more sustainable future. As part of Georg Fischer, we are committed to the United Nations #SustainableDevelopmentGoals (SDGs) – 17 universal goals for a more sustainable world by 2030. 💡🌱 👉 To find out more about how we are supporting the UN Sustainable Development goals, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eXQ6R-y3 #Sustainability #SDG12 #BiodegradablePlastics #Innovation #GFPipingSystems #watertreatment

Loop CO2 is a sustainability-focused polymer development startup headquartered in Massachusetts. Founded in 2022 as a spin-out from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities & the NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers, Loop CO2 began its mission to revolutionize sustainable materials. Backed by the Department of Energy STTR Phase II & MassVentures Grant, and working in collaboration with UMN, we're committed to developing CO2- and biomass-derived products with chemical recyclability, biodegradability, and negative carbon emissions during production. Our vision? To significantly reduce the material industry's carbon footprint and promote the circular economy. Each year, over 400 million tons of fossil-based plastics are produced, resulting in over 1 billion tons of CO2 emissions from the plastics industry alone. At Loop CO2, we react butadiene with CO2 to synthesize custom polymers which require only mild chemical recycling conditions. By using bio-butadiene, we can achieve a carbon-negative process. Join us in driving forward innovation for a greener future! #Sustainability #GreenChemistry #Innovation

Exploring the Future of Sustainable Bioplastics: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) I'm currently working on a manuscript about the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a promising bioplastic that offers a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics! What is PHAs? Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable polymers produced by microorganisms as a form of energy storage. Unlike traditional plastics derived from petrochemicals, PHAs are eco-friendly and can decompose naturally, reducing plastic pollution and environmental impact. Why PHA Matters: #Biodegradable: PHA breaks down naturally in various environments, including soil and marine conditions, helping to combat plastic waste. #Renewable: Produced from renewable resources, PHAs offer a sustainable solution to our plastic dependency. #Versatile Applications: PHAs can be used in a wide range of applications, from packaging materials to medical devices, thanks to their diverse properties. #MyResearch Focus: In my manuscript, I explored the innovative methods of PHA production, optimizing microbial processes to enhance yield and efficiency. The aim is to make PHA production more cost-effective and scalable, paving the way for broader commercial adoption. Exciting 😉 Stay tuned for more updates as I progress with my manuscript! Let's work together towards a greener, more sustainable future with PHAs. Follow me for more insights on sustainable materials and bioplastics! #SustainablePlastics #PHAs #Bioplastics #EnvironmentalScience #Sustainability #GreenFuture
